In brief

What makes it notable.

  1. A retrofit of a roughly 1 million square foot former textile plant on 96 acres, bought for $45M, to Tier 3-equivalent specs: up to 150 kW per cabinet, N+1 cooling and a target PUE of 1.3.
  2. Duke Energy Carolinas staged power at 24 MW, 40 MW and 99 MW within four years, with work done to deliver the initial 54 MW gross as of May 2026.
  3. Feasibility is about 200 MW, with a company target near 300 MW gross over time. Delivery slipped on a switchgear supply issue and was guided to the second or third quarter of 2026.
